–On Thursday afternoon, Sheriff Parkinson announced a major upgrade to the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s App, offering broadcasts and rebroadcasts of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) COVID-19 alerts. The app also has a direct link to ReadySLO.org for all the latest news, information, and updates on local efforts to combat COVID-19. The app and the upgrade are available free for Android and Apple. The upgraded app is a response to help the public and local businesses stay current on COVID-19 alerts and news.

“The upgraded app will help the public receive fast-breaking, credible news, and information from the CDC as well as the official local source of COVID-19 news from ReadySLO.org,” said Parkinson, “I encourage you to share the app with your family, friends, and neighbors so they can receive our alerts and news.”

The newly released upgrade also includes these new features: news & press releases, push notifications/alerts, submit a tip, inmate search and correctional facility information, sheriff’s office social media, and the Most Wanted list.
